Communications Processor System.
Abstract
This report covers the results of a study to develop a hardware architecture which will be the basis for a family of communications processors for applications processors for application in circuit, message, packet and base communications switch configurations. Over 23 switching equipments were investigated from which a functional baseline was defined for use in the subsequent studies for evolving an advanced Communications Processor System (CPS) architecture. These switches included circuit, message, and packet switching equipments which were felt to be typical of traditional and advanced switching concepts. As an example, the AN/TTC-39, AUTODIN, ARPA Network were used as part of the circuit, message and packet switching baselines respectively. Air Force Base Communications studies were used as the baseline in that area. From this baseline, a set of fifteen primitive functions were derived which represent the needed capabilities for any generally applied communications processor (CP). This report is organized into eight volumes as follows: Volume 1 - Executive Summary; Volume 2 - Definition of Problem; Volume 3 - Modelling; Volume 4 - CCC Architecture; Volume 5 - CPS Architecture; Volume 6 - Software Generation; Volume 7 - Appendices; and Volume 8 - CPS Central Processor Specification.
